A scientist is comparing the sequences of related genes among three species. Two of the species have very similar sequences, while the sequence of the third species differs greatly from the others. The scientist uses this comparison to propose an evolutionary history of the species. Which statement best explains the usefulness of the evidence that the scientist gathered?

A. Mutations can act as a molecular clock that show when species had a common ancestor.

B. Changes in gene sequences generally occur when two species interbreed.

C. Changes in gene sequences generally occur when one species evolves into another species.

D. Although some mutations have little effect, many mutations act to distinguish one species from another.

This map shows how climate change might affect precipitation patterns in the great plains of the united states by the end of this century. brown shoes a decrease in percipitation, and blue shows an increase. the maps differ based on the predictive levels of green house emissions. the maps shows that northern area should get a. more pracipations regardless of emmissions b. less pracipation, regardless of emmissions levels c. more precipitation, but only when emission levels. southern areas show a. more pracipations regardless of emmissions b. less pracipation, regardless of emmissions levels c. more precipitation, but only when emission levels. to use these maps to prepare for natural disasters in the great plains, scientist need to ask? a. how many tons of emissions were used at the basis of the map. b. which types of fossil fuels are used in the great plains c. if you think the above is wrong it's probly c the question is cut off
